Transcript

You got to be croc wise if you’re hanging near the water
Keep a sharp eye on your son and your daugher
If you’re fish from a boat keep away from the side
Cause the crocodiles mouth gonna open up wide

Don’t hunt by yourself if you’re fishing with a spear
Always make sure that someone else is near
Cause you don’t have eyes in the back of your head
And if a crocodiles behind you, you might find yourself DEAD!

In the rivers of the sea there are crocs unseen
And now there is biggest mob and there moving upstream
Crocodiles are deadly just remember that they’re deadly
If you’re hanging round the water you have got to use your head see?

Near the river or a crossing where the crocodiles are
You might see a sign if you’re driving in your car
Take heed of the sign if it says not to swim
Don’t risk your life on a dare or a whim

Crocodiles can move around to any waterway
What was safe to swim the other week might not be safe today
Even if you think that you know it’s safe to swim
You’re gonna risk your life if you jump right in

In the rivers of the sea there are crocs unseen
And now there is biggest mob and there moving upstream
Crocodiles are deadly just remember that they’re deadly
If you’re hanging round the water you have got to use your head see?

Make sure you tell the little ones to be croc wise
Let them know of the dangers and how to read the signs
Let them know that in the past some people have gone missing
Maybe taken by a crocodile when swimming or fishing

In the rivers of the sea there are crocs unseen
And now there is biggest mob and there moving upstream
Crocodiles are deadly just remember that they’re deadly
If you’re hanging round the water you have got to use your head see?

In the rivers of the sea there are crocs unseen
And now there is biggest mob and there moving upstream
Crocodiles are deadly just remember that they’re deadly
If you’re hanging round the water you have got to use your head see?

‘Be Crocwise’ means knowing that saltwater crocodiles are dangerous and can live in any river, billabong and ocean.

A long time ago there were lots of crocodiles.

Then people started to hunt and kill crocodiles for their skins.
Because of that, in about 1970 there were only a few crocodiles not like before.

In 1971 people stopped killing crocodiles and there became more and more of them.

Now there are lots of crocodiles like a long time ago.

Now lots of crocodiles are swimming around everywhere and traveling very far to find new places to live.

Those Crocodiles might be living in water where before people did not them before.

So remember …

In the rivers of the sea there are crocs unseen
And now there is biggest mob and there moving upstream
Crocodiles are deadly just remember that they’re deadly
If you’re hanging round the water you have got to use your head see?
